On February 1, 2024 By MPAC
This #BlackHistoryMonth, join MPAC in championing truth in education. As we celebrate the invaluable contributions of Black Americans throughout our nation's history, we must also address the ongoing battle against distorted narratives and systemic racism in our institutions. It is imperative to recognize that historical accuracy plays a pivotal role in dismantling white supremacy and countering right-wing extremist ideologies. By openly acknowledging the Anti-Blackness ingrained in our society, we can confront the enduring legacy of racism and lay the foundation for a future that prioritizes justice and equity for all. ---------- Subscribe to MPAC's channel: http://bit.ly/MPACYouTube Like MPAC on Facebook: http://fb.com/mpacnational Follow MPAC on Twitter: http://twitter.com/mpac_national Follow MPAC on Instagram: http://instagram.com/mpac_national Visit MPAC's website: http://mpac.org About the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) We improve public understanding and policies that impact American Muslims by engaging our government, media, and communities.

Articles
On January 30, 2024 By MPAC
MPAC is deeply disturbed by the recent chemical attack on Columbia University students rallying in support of Gaza. It is absolutely unacceptable that individuals exercising their right to peaceful protest were met with such aggression and violence. It is crucial that the university administration, local authorities, and relevant organizations thoroughly investigate this incident and hold those responsible accountable for their actions. ---------- Subscribe to MPAC's channel: http://bit.ly/MPACYouTube Like MPAC on Facebook: http://fb.com/mpacnational Follow MPAC on Twitter: http://twitter.com/mpac_national Follow MPAC on Instagram: http://instagram.com/mpac_national Visit MPAC's website: http://mpac.org About the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) We improve public understanding and policies that impact American Muslims by engaging our government, media, and communities.

MPAC on Nancy Pelosi’s CNN Statement

Articles
On January 30, 2024 By MPAC
In a recent CNN interview, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that she believed some protesters advocating for #Palestine are connected to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Pelosi's absurd statement aligns with certain interest groups, like AIPAC, and mirrors calls from the ADL to investigate Students for Justice for Palestine chapters for "supporting terrorism," ultimately undermining our constitutional rights to free speech and protest. ---------- Subscribe to MPAC's channel: http://bit.ly/MPACYouTube Like MPAC on Facebook: http://fb.com/mpacnational Follow MPAC on Twitter: http://twitter.com/mpac_national Follow MPAC on Instagram: http://instagram.com/mpac_national Visit MPAC's website: http://mpac.org About the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) We improve public understanding and policies that impact American Muslims by engaging our government, media, and communities.
